Level A -Geography & Travel

Spelling Time Level A is an amazing spelling journal. Not only is it a great introduction to spelling but geography too! Along with animals and instruments. One Spelling Journal covers four subjects, pretty amazing and fun! Take notice of the title “Do-it-together” this journal is meant to be done with someone and it’s okay if your little one doesn’t know how to spell all the words. It’s an introduction to fun learning and spelling. Keyword -FUN =)

Core Journals -Secular:

Many of these are for ages 7-17 and this is because you customize it for your child by using books at their reading level. To get the most out of these journals it’s best if your child can read at a 2nd-grade level or higher. Many with level B1 I would recommend your child be closer to age 9.

I put ages next to many of them so you can get an idea of the level, whether it’s on the higher or lower end of Level B.

Writing Journals Level B

To help understand the width of the lines – I explain by comparing to composition books. College Ruled and Regular (regular meaning, not college ruled or primary ruled)

Secret Diary A Book of Dreams B2+ the lines in this journal are similar to college ruled and would probably work best with 5th grade and up. If the lines are too narrow, use two lines to make one letter.Hobby Time Adventure Journal Level B1+ -regular composition with the width of the lines.Curious Creatures Notebook: Colore-Doodle-Learn- & Write Level B1+(ages 5-10) Level A students can use this- because of the width of the lines (reg. composition book) I placed it in Level B.All About Animals (all ages) This writing journal may be used with Level A & C as well. I placed it here because students at this level may appreciate it more. I think age and ability wise it’s best suited for Level B students. Lines width of a regular composition book.Creative Writing Journal Level B1/B2 -width of the lines are a bit wider than a regular composition book.All About Food (all ages) Level B because of the width of the lines and size of the journals (can be used with Leve A & C students as well).Poetry Writing Journal Levels B1/B2 -the lines are a bit wider than that of a regular composition book.The Secret World of Talking Animals Level B2 -the width of the lines are similar to college ruled.Creative Copywork B+ -the lines are the width of a regular composition book.

SCIENCE

Level C Journals are equivalent to junior high (C1) and high school (C2), ages 12-17. Many journals span a wide variety of ages because the students use books at his/her reading level. Some journals on Amazon may say for ages 7-17 because you customize it and meet the student where he’s at.

Please see our Bible Pagefor Level C Bible Journals. You can find DIY books HERE. I also have a main Thinking Tree Page, you can see check that one out to see if there are any ‘stragglers’ that I may have missed. I am working hard to accurately place journals but it will take time for this project to be complete. Please fill free to contact me if you see a Level C Journal missing, thank you!

Pocket Journals:

Level C – these are great to take on the go and get some school in. If using as a Core Journal, your child may need a notebook to go along with this or extra paper. These two journals do have a Bible page.

DIY (Do-it-Yourself) Journals have blank templates for your child to fill in and be creative. These are best for C1 & C2 students (jr. high-high school) but younger children can use them with great success as well. They are all identical except for the cover. Please see my review.

Your child can use a textbook, stack of library books, magazines, & tutorials, to fill the pages of these books! Draw, illustrate, cut & paste things into them (or use double sided tape). Take notes with them. Doodle and draw while taking notes in their DIY book.

Pocket Size Journals

There are Journals that have Bible in them but are Core Journals. I placed those at the bottom to separate them from the ones that are more for devotions/Bible Study. Meaning the Bible Study Journals don’t have your child use a stack of books like a Core Bible Journal.
